Hows about 10am start because of the distance some might have to get to the start point, i think most of our meets have been about 10.00am to 10.30am ;D

Please lets go 21st century and use post codes. I know some of us don't have sat nav - some do have sat nav - and some just plain can't use sat nav (not mentioning any names here, but we ALL know who you are - LOL), but even multimap or google earth works on the post code system. Not winging (well perhaps a lickle) - perhaps i'm knackered again!!!!!!!
Outside welding up the holes - and there are plenty - on my new 'convertible'!!!! ROFPMSL. Just found a hole the size of wales in the side cills that the MOT examiner somehow didn't see. Seeing as it's back in for the re-test in the next week or so, I recon I need to get them done. Well sun's out here - I should really be out HOONING in the F, but far too busy covered in grindings and weld splatter so back to it.

Well! Did first part of run today and stopped at hungry horse for lunch. Realised it is totally unsuitable for our run out so left without eating even. Tables are set up for families of four, lots of screaming kids, certainly no-way a table for 20ish could be set up! Spent the next hour screaming around the other local pubs none of which were, in our opinion, suitable.So i am now stuffed, i put all my eggs in the hungry horse basket. So! I am gonna propose a delay to give me time to find a suitable venue for dinner. Any suggestions on a suitable date?

sounds a good idea. I did wonder when I saw Hungry Horse, as I know what the one by me is like!! Good luck, and don't be disheartened - you'll find somewhere, and it'll be a cracking day out!

Gazza - let me know which area you're thinking of for lunch. I can probably (hopefully ;D) make alternative proposals if you're in need of suggestions

Some have even better HUD systems, so let's go grid references ;D ;D Then we can find our way there to within 2 metres if it's [font=Verdana[glow=red,2,300]FOGGY[/glow][/b][/font]

As you approach j12 there is a huge garden centre on the right( you could almost shop as you drive past on motorway) you come off M5 turn right an land in car park!!!! All would have been explained in final draught. I will try an get post codes for those that would struggle with that.

Hello everybody peeps! Well i didn't anticipate it being so expensive to eat in the cotswolds. Tried lots of hotels / pubs, all loads of money. Anyways, the proprieter that owns the coffee shop i planned to stop in for uummmm! coffee, has offered to orgainse a small choice of food for us, they normally only do this in summer, i will send the choices to RL and hopefully he can post them on here for me when i get them and if it's acceptable to everyone perhaps you could let me know your preffered choice so that they can order in the right amounts. Obviously being a coffee type establishment there are cakes, coffee, danishes etc etc AND BOOZE. so you might need a co-driver Fi. Also internet access for a small fee. Large car park for hoisting flags etc.
